1. My girls grew up in the 80s

in the midwest where girls athletics has always been part of a girls life. So from a very young age they were hitting, throwing, running and shooting a basketball with proper technique.
Today they are mothers and wives and quite successful in their fields. They always had confidence in the classroom and on the field.

I am so glad to see young women all over the place busting the stereotype. Maybe that insult will be put to rest soon.

I am also a former proctoid (worker for P&G). They have always been a leader in breaking down barriers. When I worked for them women were encouraged to move into non-traditional positions. They had much success in doing so in our place of work.
